I use
a specific SNMP interface description on the critical interfaces and then use
the smartset editor to find all the interfaces with an SNMP interface
description of "critical" or whatever. this requires configuring the interface
description in the router, something not everyone has access to. But if you do
it that way, when your network folks bring up a new critical device you'll add
it to your smartset automagically.
I don't see the
problem. You use the editor. Type "collectioned" from the command
line, select "Add", then "Modify" the first rule, and go from there, The
Attribute would be "IP Address".

4.3.3 In our
environment only the loopback address of the router is configured in DNS to
resolve a hostname to an IP address. Therefore, all other interfaces on
the routers are IP addresses only. From our campus routers (approximately 20 routers) our
NOC has identified very critical IP address interfaces that they want put into
a single Smartset. How can I create a smartset that will contain
specific IP addresses? Thanks -Donna RSIS/SSA
